With a title like Caution and an opening track called GTFO (Get The Fuck Out), Mariah Carey seems to want to save the listener from something. But the American singer puts you on the wrong track. 'Take your things and be on your merry way,' Mimi asks her ex-lover calmly as the fluffy R&B swells. Apparently, this ultimate diva has a gentle side too. The title track also shines through the
… understated urgency with which Carey brings her lyrics. The songs on Caution were produced by, among others, , and Nineteen85. The production is smooth, sweet and some songs go in a more danceable direction, but nowhere does it become a dull hit parade. The singer comes across remarkably 'cool' and doesn't have to prove anything anymore. On Caution Mimi sounds self-conscious and calm. (JvQ)more
